We've all heard that "Time waits for no man," which is often attributed to Geoffrey Chaucer. The idea is that time is relentless and does not pause or adjust its pace for anyone. So it is true for technology and the plethora of new inventions that we've seen lately. The BIG ONE is AI!
I've dabbled in it since ChatGPT was first made available. I even wrote an interface in an app I did on Wix in javascript that was similar to ChatGPT.
Now, there's not a day that goes by that I don't leverage chatGPT to help fine-tune my thought processes and decisioning in my writing. It has allowed me to open wider what I already know to a point where thoughts can become more words, words become sound, and learning expands within my mind.
To share the point above, I submitted a resume for a really cool company today that I believe is VERY forward thinking and preparing for the near-future of software development and the use of Project Managers / Scrum Masters (which I am one) to guide those projects to great success.
Interestingly, the application called out directly that no response was to be AI generated, but only from the applicants heart and mind.
Just for illustration, and following the guideline of my application submission, here's what I submitted in the PROMPT, with ChatGPTs response in the RESPONSE section. It truly does show the power of elegance of chatGPT is quite evident.
PROMPT: Paraphrase the below with more excitement and interested for the job being applied for. """" I believe it really comes down to the unique gifts were we all born with well as the life interests as a result of what we were exposed to. I always loved electronics, and when a computer became available at my high-school, I signed up for the class and write my first ever program. Math was always a strength of mine, so I leveraged that every chance I had. Needless to say, this computer is only a relic in a museum right now - so by now, you can probably figure out that my career has spanned multiple decades... and I've never regretted my vocational choice. Catching the next wave of AI is what attracted me to this position.. potentially providing a level of maturity that may be needed, while also being a part of that next BIG THING! While tempted to see how my best bud - CHATGPT - would have paraphrased what I wrote above (and after I send this, I will. :), I totally respect your desire to hear applicant responses, directly from their heart and mind without external influences. """"
RESPONSE:
I genuinely believe that our individuality, shaped by our inherent talents and life experiences, is what defines us. From the moment I laid eyes on a computer in high school, I was hooked.
The rush of writing my very first program ignited a passion for electronics that has fueled my career for decades. With a natural knack for math, I seized every opportunity to leverage it in my work. While that first computer may now be a relic, my enthusiasm for technology has only grown stronger over the years.
What excites me most about this position is the opportunity to ride the crest of the next AI wave. Being part of something groundbreaking, something that could redefine our future, is electrifying. I see this role not just as a job, but as a chance to contribute to the next big revolution in technology.
As tempted as I am to see how even CHATGPT would paraphrase my words (and trust me, I'll check later!), I want to convey my genuine enthusiasm for this opportunity directly from my heart and mind.
Mr. Pitstick (my high-school football coach) helped us learn BASIC, and the program I wrote, my FIRST program ever, was written in code typed on a teletype, punch-paper-tape console (below)... Digital PDP-8
I wrote a TREASURE HUNT game...
MANY YEARS LATER, I still have the love of programming in my veins. Needless to say, this computer is only a relic in a museum right now - so by now, you can probably figure out that my career has spanned multiple decades... and I've never regretted my vocational choice - EVER!
